1988 Super Vee Season

[rusty718]

Is it possible that someone would have any info on the RT5 that Paul Radisich drove for Conti racing during the 1988 season? Chassis number? History? It was black with the number "00" Thanks.

I think Phil Gumpert owned that car at the time and he posts here sometimes. Dave Conti has been working for Sam Schmidt reciently and I believe still has his shop in Pittsboro Indiana. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. I contacted Mr. Conti about a year ago - He remembers picking up the car on Long Island, but nothing else.

The 10 Tenths Motorsport Forum has a thread going on RT5's: http://www.ten-tenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88715 They have some folks with resources that may be able to help you.

Good luck!

I ran Paul's car back then - let me poke around and see if I can find something that refers to the chassis number.

Mike,
It's good to see your smiling face on TV from time to time.

I have a complete set of ON TRACK magazine for 1988. Also 89 and I think 90

I just saw this thread and called Phil Gumpert. He remembered owning that car and thought they had run Jose David (from Brazil), Dominic Dobson and Mark Dismore in it. He's going to check his old records for chassis number and any details. and post them here.

There are two likely candidates for this car in chassis RT5-734 and RT5-735, both black gel coat and delivered to Ralt American in January 88.
Can you give me a tub stamping, fuel cell number or gearbox number for the car [assuming that you are asking about one you own] I have this information for most 87/88 RT5s.

Chris,

You are correct -I would like to determine that this 1988 car is, or is not, my 1985 car. My car is RT5-581. Tub number is 85 22 69. Original fuel tank number was 47351 ( and may still be ). Original box number was 5477. Current box is H9-4746. Original owner was Paul D. Natchwey.

Thanks,
Rusty
